I have been a painter nearly all of my life. I live to paint and love it too! My current love of painting is small still life, usually with flowers.
My daughter, Carol, and I are "Have Brush Will Travel" and we also paint murals,vintage furniture and home decor.

Ready to paint!

I am just back from a week in the Carribbean! What fun we had. I saw flowering trees on the beach at Antigua with dozen of hummingbirds! An amazing sight. As soon as i got home it was Mother's day and I had to paint the lovely tea roses that I received. I'm sure eveyone know to put their flowers in the refrigerator...sure does keep them longer. Now, I can paint another painting. this one is my first of the tea roses.
